Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Varese
Choosing the right arrival point for Varese depends heavily on your budget and tolerance for transfers. For most international travelers, Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) is the clear winner; it is situated in a neighboring city, but it serves as the primary gateway, offering direct, fast rail links and cost-effective bus options that make reaching Varese simple. Milan Linate Airport (LIN) is another alternative in a nearby city that is closer to downtown Milan, but it requires significantly more time to reach Varese via public transit connections. Il Caravaggio International Airport (BGY), also in a nearby city, primarily handles budget airlines and is best reserved for those finding significant airfare savings, as ground transport involves longer, more complex journeys. Meanwhile, Parma Airport (PMF) and Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA) are located in entirely different provinces. These remote airports are only recommended if your travel itinerary explicitly requires visiting those specific regions, as transfers to Varese are costly and time-consuming. Always validate regional train schedules in advance as they are the backbone of Italian travel.

I had a very pleasant journey in this hotel.
The location is extremely convenient, the hotel has a parking lot for the guests which is a must in Varese.
The location is near the ”nightlife” of Varese where there's an abundance of all types of restaurants.
Staff is very kind, including the cat who will receive you in first place. Rooms are full equipped, even with a kettle (not common in Italy) and breakfast is outstanding. Definitely the best choice in Varese.Great40 Reviews
